Farewell, 2020.

This is something I had written on the 30th of December, 2020. I know it is a little too late to post this. But better late than never, right?

This year has been tough. It’s taken a toll on a lot of us physically, mentally, and emotionally. It has tested our limits and made us live through situations that we had never even dreamt of before. But through all of that, I have realized how much I value all the amazing people in my life. I am grateful for each and every one of you. You gave me strength and helped me in ways that I don’t think you even realized.

From reconnecting with old friends to learning new skills, a lot has happened this year. This year was a little too much. I laughed a little too hard and I cried a little too much. I grew as a person and my relationships matured.

It hurt me to see so many people around me suffering and not being able to help them gutted me, but I tried my best. I hope that you all realize how much I love you. I wish I had the perfect advice for all of you, but I hope that having a shoulder to cry on helped even in the slightest. I hope this new year brings nothing but happiness, success, and good health to y’all.

Lastly, thank you to the peeps of mine who are so patient with me and accept me, despite me being a complete party pooper atm. I love you and thanks for understanding me. I absolutely miss having a blast with y’all, and I know you do too.

I am sorry if I have knowingly or unknowingly hurt anyone this year. It was a tough year, but I really hope that I didn’t add to anyone’s troubles. I am going to give everyone a big hug as soon as I get vaccinated. And I promise to never take anything for granted.

Lots of love,

Joy.
